My best friend and I both loved her elderly dog who died last week, and I keep wanting to share memories and check in on how she's doing, but she says talking about it makes it worse. I'm worried that respecting her space means abandoning her, but I'm also grieving and could use someone to remember him with.

The delicate dance of wanting to honor both your friend's healing process and your own need for shared remembrance.
